SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
Respondents are individuals or
representatives of Federal and nonFederal government agencies,
community groups, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and civic
organizations requesting Armed Forces
support for patriotic events conducted
in the civilian domain. DD Forms 2535
and 2536 record the type of military
support requested, event data, and
sponsoring organization information.
The completed forms provide the
Armed Forces the minimum
information necessary to determine
whether an event is eligible for military
participation and whether the desired
support is permissible and/or available.
If the forms are not provided, the review
process is greatly increased because the
Armed Forces must make additional
written and telephonic inquiries with
the event sponsor. In addition, use of
the forms reduces the event sponsor’s
preparation time because the forms
provide a detailed outline of
information required, eliminate the
need for a detailed letter, and contain
concise information necessary for
determining appropriateness of military
support. Use of the forms is essential to
reduce preparation and processing time,
increase productivity, and maximize
responsiveness to the public.

Federal office.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households: Uniformed Services
members, eligible family members, U.S.

have requested a State absentee ballot
but did not receive one with enough
time to vote and return it, and UOCAVA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
Respondents are UOCAVA citizens
who desire to vote in a Federal election
but did not receive an absentee ballot
from their State of residency with
enough time to vote and return it. The
information provided by these citizens
is used by the States to determine if the
citizen is a resident of a jurisdiction
within that State, has previously
requested an absentee ballot (when
applicable) and therefore eligible for the
enclosed ballot to be counted. In States
that allow the form to be used as a voter
registration form, the information
provided is used by the States to
determine if the citizen is a resident of
a jurisdiction within that State, and
therefore eligible to vote within that
jurisdiction and to provide absentee
ballots to these citizens for Federal
elections held within each calendar
year. This form is mandated by 42
U.S.C. 1973ff. The Department of
Defense does not receive, collect nor
maintain any data provided on the form
by these citizens; this data is collected
and maintained by the individual
States. The burden in the collection of
this data resides in the individual
States. If the form is not provided,
UOCAVA citizens would not have
access to the emergency backup ballot
and thus, may be disenfranchised from
their right as a U.S. citizen to participate
in the electoral process. The previous
Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot is the
edition dated 08–2011. The form has
been updated for usability and
consistency. The most significant
changes on the form are as follows: The
Agency Disclosure Statement has been
added to the instruction page of the
form as per OMB guidance. Block 2
classification has been clarified to
include activated National Guard
